Scarcely more than 100 miles north of the Golden Gate is a wild, fog-drenched land where a roiling ocean and pristine views call for a weekend escape. Known as the Mendonoma Coast—bluffside between Jenner-by-the-Sea in Sonoma County and Point Arena in Mendocino County—this secluded region offers food, architecture, and adventure whether you're a bona fide weekend warrior or just craving serenity.
Known for its bare, midcentury modern architecture that rises in perfect harmony with the coastal landscape, the village of Sea Ranch is surrounded by Monterey Cyprus and rocky bluffs. On its southern side sits Sea Ranch Lodge (rooms starting at $474/night), where dog-friendly guest rooms are 1970s-chic interiors with picture windows looking onto the ocean. Some accommodations also have gas fireplaces and cushy window seats so you can stay warm on foggy days without missing the view. In-room massages and on-site dining make staying in just as rewarding as heading out.
